Snowpack Summary

10-20cm of settling snow overlies a crust complex that is up to 30cm thick and has been found up to 2000m. The midpack is mostly well-consolidated snow in the alpine and at treeline. Below treeline the lower snowpack is still very faceted. The 2022-12-14 surface hoar layer can be found down 50-70cm and has still been reactive in tests.
